ClayMotion online adults pottery class are taught by me, Dawn Whitehand, in a relaxed online art studio environment in Central Ballarat. I have been a practising potter for over twenty years, and am passionate about all things clay.

I believe the plasticity of clay makes it a malleable and expressive medium, ideal for de-stressing and quietening the mind away from the crisis times we find ourselves in. The course focuses on providing students with the fundamental skills and knowledge of working with clay, through hands-on experience and practice in an encouraging atmosphere.

$240.00 per term (glazing not included: these costs will vary dependent on what a student makes)

Casual attendance $35 per session – contact me for payment and to be sent class links – 0438382522

Clay $18.00 per 10kg bag – available at the studio, first bag free for students that enrol for the whole term.
Glazing $19.80 per kilo when ready to take home, for example – average coffee cup weighs 300 gm so this would cost $5.95 to take home when finished.
